well, yesterday his coughing got worse and his breathing became faster. at 4 this morning, i decided it was time to go to the ER.
it was his first visit to the ER for asthma, we usually make it to urgent care. when the lady at the registration desk asked micah how he was doing, he said,"i'm good." too funny, made me look like a paranoid mom bringing her kid in for no apparent reason.
but when they took his vitals and his oxygen level was a little low at 93%, they took him back right away and gave him 3 breathing treatments and steroids. he's always a good patient. he watched tv during treatment.
we got home almost 3 hours later and slept.
then it was time for his allergy appt, for testing. he got poked 40 times in his back to test for food and airborne allergies. he did great for the first 30. it was the last 10 that were really tough because she really scraped it in his skin.
he wanted me to take a picture so he could see what was going on. poor thing, you can see his tear going down his cheek.
he had to sit like that for 20 minutes for any reactions. he was biting his shirt because he wanted to scratch. go figure, i couldn't get good reception on my phone to pull up some videos.
i hate food allergies. he is allergic to tree nuts, the biggest is cashews. he's also allergic to fish and shellfish.
my poor babe. it's kind of a blessing in disguise that he's such a picky eater.
